Class AuthUtil

java.lang.Object

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.AuthUtil

Deprecated.

since 2.2.0, to be marked as InterfaceAudience.Private in 4.0.0.

@Deprecated
 @InterfaceAudience.Public
public final class AuthUtil
extends Object

Utility methods for helping with security tasks. Downstream users may rely on this class to handle authenticating via keytab where long running services need access to a secure HBase cluster. Callers must ensure:

• HBase configuration files are in the Classpath
• hbase.client.keytab.file points to a valid keytab on the local filesystem
• hbase.client.kerberos.principal gives the Kerberos principal to use

 {
   @code
   ChoreService choreService = null;
   // Presumes HBase configuration files are on the classpath
   final Configuration conf = HBaseConfiguration.create();
   final ScheduledChore authChore = AuthUtil.getAuthChore(conf);
   if (authChore != null) {
     choreService = new ChoreService("MY_APPLICATION");
     choreService.scheduleChore(authChore);
   }
   try {
     // do application work
   } finally {
     if (choreService != null) {
       choreService.shutdown();
     }
   }
 }
 

See the "Running Canary in a Kerberos-enabled Cluster" section of the HBase Reference Guide for an example of configuring a user of this Auth Chore to run on a secure cluster.

This class will be internal used only from 2.2.0 version, and will transparently work for kerberized applications. For more, please refer Client-side Configuration for Secure Operation
